Editing Nebula Award for Best Script (section)

==Winners and nominees==
In the following table, the years correspond to the date of the ceremony, rather than when the work was first released. Entries with a yellow background and an asterisk (*) next to the writer's name have won the award; the other entries are the other nominees on the shortlist. Entries with a gray background and a plus sign (+) mark a year when "no award" was selected as the winner.
